Pros: – Works with all OS Systems.
- Overall quality build is Good.
- Comes with USB Extention
- Comes with CD with the Drivers for Win XP and Win Vista (Win Vista Drivers works with WIndows 7)
Cons: – USB Extention with low quality build.
- CD must come with something to protect it, that was not, it was only the CD itself.
============
Pros: – Just works within Ubuntu; no drivers needed.
- Driver disk includes drivers for linux/mac/win98, 2000, XP, vista, CE
- USB extention cable included
Cons: – Extention cable does not look like it’s a heavy quality cable, it’s kinda thin.
- RS232 screws on the connector are hard to turn as the casing of the adapter is really next to the screws
- driver cd contains drivers for other devices, so you have to look for the directory called “(USB-SERIEL2303)”

- USB GPS Dongle receivers provide standard data for mapping software to use and convert to coordinates. Data from the ND-100 will work well with most software on the market today
- The ND-100 is WAAS/EGNOS capable. With your sat nav software this will give you accurate door to door navigation.
- The GPS requires an open, clear view of the sky. Buildings, covered parking areas, tunnels and dense foliage can cause the GPS receiver to be unable to get a location fix. If you are parked in a covered parking lot or near a tall building, it is recommended that you drive away until you have a clear view of the sky before using the ND-100. You may need to give the GPS a few minutes to find or get a fix at its location.
- The Satellite Navigation software can be used on a Linux system if you uses a Windows API for Linux, see www.winehq.org. You may have to compile a kernel to get this working with Linux which is only advised for advance users.

Pros: Very compact, works just fine even indoor (close to a window). I’m using it plugged in to my asus eeepc as a car board GPS with google maps as software.
Cons: I need to use the usb cable that comes along with the dongle to get better reception
